er Oberly Concerning the Removal 81
Employen-Merft the stansrd.
WARRINGTON. Sept. 9.-Civil- Service
Commissioner Oberly has sent, in re-
spond TO an inquiry from Charles n. Row
land, chairman Of the Civil-Service board
Of examiners q Cincinnati, communi-
cation embodying the views of the COM
mission. respecting the rights Of post
master TO remove carriers and clerks, ex-
cept for causes named in the Civil-Service
law. "That every carrier and clerk" the
commission says, ssin the Cincinnati post
office might Be legally removed, for
cause, IL = proposition on which you need
no information. It Il therefore concluded
that you wish 70 know whether, in the
opinion Of the commission, efficient car
riers and clerks Of good character may
he legally removed for partisan reasons
because they do not agree In politics with
the postmaster. The commission has
Heretofore stated. and repeats. that the
power OF removal Il unrestricted, except
that removal may not be legally made
for any one Of the following causes:
81. Because . person in the service
has refused 70 contribute to : political
fund or for political purpose.
80. Because . person has refused 70
render political service.
"a Because person has refused 70 per
init the appointing officer, or any person
in the civil service to coerce his pot'csi
action.
sFor any other cause any person "
legally removed for any Of the causes
named, can not, under any provision O
the Civil-Servicc oct, demand restors'
tion.v
The law fairly construed, they say. =
that entrance TO the classified civil service
shall be upon the merit Of the applicant
without regard 20 his political opinions q
afIiliations, and that continuance ~ tne
service shall be upon the employees merit
without regard TO bis political opinions y
a0iIiations.
Therefore the appointing officer who az.
points or refuses 70 appoint an applicant
because the applicant does or does not sn'
terrain certain political opinions, violates
the law, and an appointing officer VINO ~
moves IN employee because the employe "
fuses TO render political service IN accofu'
ance with che wishes Of the appointing Fl
1cer, because be IL not political partisan q :
Of the appointing officer, also violates ~
law.
Entertaining these views. the ccmn''s
sion replies 10 your question by sayint
that, IN the opinion Of the commission, ~
postmaster q Cincinnati can not lawiu"s
remove any carrier or clerk for the reason
that the carrier OF clerk belongs TO the ~
litical party 20 which the postmaster J
opposed. that he can lawfully remove ~ y
person from the classified postal service =
Cincinnati, except for some other cnus !,
than the employees political opinions =
afIIIIations."
